“Solos was designed for the most dedicated cyclist in mind. A ‘Bio-Inspired’ philosophy ensures every detail of its design is engineered to seamlessly integrate with the way human body moves and operates,” said Dr. Ernesto Martinez, Director of Sports Performance Wearables of Solos. “Solos delivers a truly holistic platform of critical sensory information to a cyclist, which can be shared with trainers, coaches, teammates and friends.”

Solos has been carefully analyzed and tested in wind tunnels to ensure optimal comfort and reduced drag when in use. Resting comfortably on the face, the minimalist and flexible design enables Solos to be compatible with any aerodynamic helmet. It features anti-slip temple and nose pads for ultimate grip during high-intensity training. The frames are built to be ultra-durable with high-end polycarbonate that shields from impact, wind, dust and shocks.

A key design element of Solos is the Vista™ virtual screen. It measures only 4mm in height, as small as the size of a human pupil, allowing see-through/see-around vision, while showcasing a large 5-inch virtual display with bright, high-resolution color graphics. The screen cuts glare so images can be easily read on the sunniest of days. A new nSight opto-mechanical adjustment further enhances comfort and minimizes eye strain when worn on longer training sessions or trails.

Solos monitors performance metrics such as heart rate, speed, power, pace, cadence, distance, duration, and other Bluetooth and ANT+ compatible data. The Solos app captures, streams and syncs data, allowing cyclists to customize workouts while keeping track of target performance levels. It also supports existing training programs and new tool development that enables users to see progress and heighten performance capabilities.

A unique feature of Solos is Whisper™ advanced voice extraction technology that allows voice commands to control the display settings like caller ID, notifications and social media without lifting a finger. The integrated near-ear stereo speaker system with ambient monitoring provides optimal control of volume levels to deliver performance cues that can be clearly heard above the noise of the road and wind.

Solos incorporates a new SiMax™ Li-ion battery which has double the energy density compared to other commercial Li-ion batteries. The SiMax battery enables a sleek design of Solos, while providing riders with up to 10 hours in a single charge, perfect for long triathlons or mountainous cycling where outlets are not easily accessed.

Strava integration technology allows users to download GPS routes and upload recorded activity to share with friends. Once the account has been connected with Strava, all training sessions will automatically transfer to them, so sharing information with teammates and friends is hassle-free. Delivering advanced performance metrics to iOS and Android phones, Solos comes equipped with Ant+ technology that enables wearable and smartphone devices to effectively share health data. The all-inclusive platform and sensory indicators provide enhanced metrics such as speed, power, pace, heart rate, distance, duration, and other Bluetooth and Ant+ compatible information.

Solos will be available Q2 2016 for an MSRP of $499.

Solos will be displayed CES 2016 at Fitness and Technology Marketplace, Sands A-B Booth #74334. Click here to add us to your show schedule. Please contact PR representative Kristen Mondshein to schedule in-person demos or interviews with the Solos team.
